Combined

Hello,

NugsoI think it's not correct (I don't know why I think like that, though, but I've encountered with it a few times.

I'm better than all of you.
I'm better than both of you combined.

I don't understand your concern; both sentences are correct and natural. They differ in meaning, as you may know.

Thank you Aspara Gus! Well, what concerns me is dictionaries don't have such a sentence. I don't know whether I know the difference, but I gave it a try. Could you check it?

I'm better than all of you. For instance, I can be better than A, B and C but they MIGHT be better than me when combined. However second sentence means I'm better than they are even when they're combined. Did I get it

NugsoI can be better than A, B and C but they MIGHT be better than me when combined.

Yes, the sentence specifies nothing about a combination. It just means that you are better than all of them individually.

NugsoHowever second sentence means I'm better than they are even when they're combined.

Yes.

Don't expect to f

Thank you again Aspara Gus.

Well, I'll probably start reading some novels if I pass my upcoming exams.
